Bitcoin's Christmas Trap

Описание: Every Christmas, Bitcoin sets the same trap — and retail investors keep falling for it.
In past “red Christmas” years (2014, 2018, 2022), Bitcoin finished the holiday season down hard… and then went on to rip higher the following year. Now the pattern is lining up again: Bitcoin is down since last Christmas and sitting around $87K after a sharp pullback from its October peak.
But this time, there’s a twist most people aren’t watching:
A $23.7B Bitcoin options “cage” has been pinning price in a tight range — and it unlocks on December 26.
In this video, I break down:
• Why Bitcoin tends to “trap” investors around Christmas (and what history actually shows)
• The 2019 roadmap comparison (and why a “boring top” can lead to a long, grinding reset)
• How gamma exposure can mechanically keep BTC stuck between key levels
• Why ETF outflows + whale capitulation might look bearish… but can actually be part of a bottoming process
• The uncomfortable possibility: 2026 could be explosive — but the path there may not be a straight line
If you understand how this trap works, you might be able to spot what comes next before the crowd does.
